Sports commentator Rıdvan Dilmen made evaluations regarding Fenerbahçe. Rıdvan Dilmen stated that Fenerbahçe should prioritize a specific area in transfers, saying, "Big teams do not play with just one defensive midfielder. In the Turkish league, two box-to-box midfielders are needed. Fenerbahçe should spend all its money on this position."
Sports commentator Rıdvan Dilmen made evaluations regarding Fenerbahçe's transfer agenda on HT Sports. Rıdvan Dilmen analyzed the areas where the Yellow-Navy Blues should prioritize in transfers.
'THE TRIPLE DEFENSE ERA WILL END'
Stating that a triple defense cannot be played with the upcoming transfers, Rıdvan Dilmen said, "It seems that Fenerbahçe will transfer two wing players: One is Nene, and the other one let’s say is Kerem... If these transfers happen, the era of triple defense will end. If Nene comes, and if Kerem or any other name comes, it means that Fenerbahçe will no longer have a triple format." he said.
'3-4-1-2 WILL BE IN THE TRASH'
Continuing his words, the famous commentator stated, "Fenerbahçe will now play with a four-man defense. Because I interpret that they cannot play with another formation with a right back, left back, and two wing players. For example, Brown is playing on the left of the midfield and Semedo on the right. Where will the incoming wing players play? 3-4-1-2 will be in the trash. I am not saying this negatively; I think it might be more correct."
'FENERBAHÇE IS RETURNING TO THIS SYSTEM'
Stating that Fenerbahçe will return to a four-man system, Rıdvan Dilmen said, "In the 99-point season, right back Osayi had İrfan Can in front of him; left back Ferdi had Tadic in front of him. Fenerbahçe is returning to this system. From now on, we will rarely see a triple system. Fenerbahçe is returning to 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2. Even if they play 3-4-3, En-Nesyri or Duran will be left on the bench." he commented.
'HE WILL FIND APPIAH NO MATTER WHAT'
The experienced commentator expressed that the Yellow-Navy Blues need to find a new Appiah, saying, "İrfan Can Kahveci seems like a player that Mourinho has never thought of. İrfan Can is not even on his mind. İrfan Can Eğribayat is a goalkeeper I like, but Mourinho's most urgent need is a right-footed number 8. He has no chance; he needs to get him. He will find Appiah no matter what!" he stated.
'THEY SHOULD SPEND ALL THE MONEY ON THIS POSITION'
Commenting on Fenerbahçe's transfer priority, Rıdvan Dilmen said, "Big teams do not play with just a number 6. In the Turkish league, two number 8s are needed in the midfield. Fenerbahçe should spend all their money on this position. The duo of Amrabat - Fred will not work. Since Amrabat gets between the center-backs, Fred is left alone and gets lost on the field. We can only see Fred when he is making hand gestures. He is not running anymore. All viewers should closely follow Fred. From the first minute, both of his hands are in the air. He is mentally disconnected from the game." he stated.
